OpenAI Steps into Hollywood: AI Films Emerge as Potential Investment Theme
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is venturing into Hollywood by financing an AI-generated animated film titled 'Critterz.' This marks a significant pivot from productivity tools to consumer-facing entertainment, signaling potential growth avenues for investors in streaming, animation, and AI technology sectors.
The film, conceptualized using OpenAI's DALL-E text-to-image model, aims for a Cannes debut in May. With a budget under $30 million and a production timeline of nine months—far shorter than traditional animated films—Critterz could redefine cost and efficiency benchmarks in the industry.
